most mysterious crime and thus far
without satisfactory results. One of the
leading banking firms of this city has
sustained loss claimed to be as great

public about the theft is that the officers
of the institution on coming to the bank
one morning, found the doors of the
vault wide open. The cash had been
carried off, with the exception of some
tags of silver with which the thieves

MEN OF GENIUS.
They, Too. Long for What Is Far Beyond
Their Reach.

InCy, TOO Long IOr WnaC Is Ear Beyond
Their Reach.
So far from being narrow the man of
genius must, one should say, be broad
in the range of his conception, and if
not in that, of his execution. There is
sense, indeed, in which every artist
would be the gamer by becoming uni
versal. Thus the poet and the painter
may each profit from full and exact
study of the facts of natural science.
But then the artistic benefit depends on
the subject being studied not as a
savant would study it, merely for the
precise knowledge, but for the sake of
the poetical or pictorial aspects, rela-
tions and suggestions which the facts
present
So true is this that one is hardly going
too far in laying it down as canon
that painter ought to be good
reasoner on the causes of natural
phenomena and that painter ought
not to be an authority in tho realm, say,
of purely historical and ethical
discussion. The lives of great men
have often shown us u strange and per-
verse inclination to break through the
bounds of their proper domain. Moro
than one man of undoubted genius has,
it is averred, expressed regret that he
had not attained distinction in some
other line than his own. Wolfe, when
actually engaged in his last browning
feat of generalship, said that he would
rather have written Gray's "Elegy"
Goethe, not satisfied to be the great
est of poets, was ambitious to become
! q savant as well. Such facts appear ut
first sight to contradict our theory that
superlative performance of any kind
implies corresponding concentration
of impulse. Yet the contradiction is
only apparent. We may be sure that
Wolfe-who, by the by, became sol
dier soon after he was thirtcen-was,
on the whole, more passionately de-
sirous of military than of poetic distinc.
tion, just as we know that in Goethe
the poetic impulse was the most potent
and permanent. Such occasional ROY.
ing ambitions may mean nothing more
than that the great man, like the small
one, is apt to overestimate what lies
beyond his reach, OF perhaps that he
more than common men, is aware ol
the limitations that hem him in, and il
now and again disposed to rebel against
then. -Gsstlsmaa's 4asasine

opening his eyes so wide that they looked
like lotto balls One two! hand was
clapped over his mouth. Two other hands
grabbed him by the shoulder. Houp he

PLEASANT REMEDIES.
An Entertaining and Successful Case OF
Mind Cure.

Speaking of the mind cure reminds
me of case of shrewd management on
the part of physician, who was con-
suited by patient suffering from an
aggravated case of authors cramp.
The doctor examined the patient and
inquired into the circumstances, the re-
suit being that he became convinced
that the whole trouble was purely i'm
aginary. The young man had suddenly
been given an order for an important
work which he was most anxious to
write, but which must be finished with.
in specified and rather limited time.
Of an imaginative turn OF mind and
full of fear lest something should pre-.
vent him from accomplishing the work,
writer's paralysis had unluckily sug-
gested itself to his mind and the result
was complete inability to write at all.
"Ah, well," the doctor said, ''it is a
pity; but the more you fret the plore
you lower the tone of your system, and
the longer it will take you to get over
it. Come over and see us tonight. We
can play whist, or something. You
need livening up"
The melancholy and hypochondriac
young author passed the evening at the
physicians. and most merry evening
they had, the wife and daughters of the
host having been beforehand instructed
to entertain the guest to the best OF
their ability. The visitor gradually
forgot all about himself, and before the
| evening was over was as merry as {
grig. just us he was taking his leave
the doctor said to him. as if ON the spul
of the moment;

out the name of that French book W.
were speaking of. l did not under
stand how you spelled tho authors
name"
Quite unconscious of the trap laid fol
him, the guest did rs requested, sale
good night and took his leave. In thu
morning he received note from thu
physician, saying:
"By the way, forgot to remark las
night after you wrote that card for me
that there must be some mistake about
your having authors cramp."
To which tho author replied in hi
own handwriting;
'There was no mistake, but regre
